St. Gregory’s Students Inducted into Nursing Honors Society

On April 21, St. Gregory’s University students Mark Legako and Maureen Myrvold were inducted into the nursing honors society, Sigma Theta Tau International. They participated in the Beta Delta-at-Large Chapter induction ceremony.

“It was a wonderful event to see the first candidates from St. Gregory’s University’s School of Nursing become members of the most prestigious international organization of nursing scholarship. The students were glowing and as proud as we were! The inductees have many opportunities that include research support, electronic library access, information exchange and travel opportunities,” said Dr. Susan J. Barnes, Dean of St. Gregory’s School of Nursing. “A huge debt of gratitude is owed to Dr. Wanda Robinson, who as a long term member of the Sigma Theta Board in Oklahoma, has worked tirelessly towards St. Gregory’s intent on becoming a recognized member of the STT Beta Delta at Large Chapter. This induction marks one more stepping stone in achieving full recognition.”

The mission of the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International, is advancing world health and celebrating nursing excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service. Only BSN level nursing students are eligible to be inducted into the society.

“It’s an immense honor to be a part of STTI,” said Maureen Myrvold. “I hope that many St. Gregory’s nursing students will be able to join in the future.”

Undergraduate Students must meet the following criteria: they must have completed half of the nursing curriculum, must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, rank in the upper 35th percentile of the graduating class, and meet the expectation of academic integrity.
